Default PIE, Blitzsafe or other adapter?

I've finally got a head unit in my Accord that has a CD changer connection. Now I need to order an interface. The only two that I know of are from PIE and Blitzsafe. I believe the PIE is more cost effective and Blitzsafe is overpriced (so I've been told).

Anyone have any recommendations?

i HAD a blitz cable. i got it off of ebay for $25. At Circuit City, i believe they retail in the $80 price range.

Go with the cheaper alternative. They do the exact same thing.

Ended up ordering the Blitzsafe from logjamelectronics.com

Apparently the PIE adapter needs to have a ground attached if you're running a device (like an iPod) on battery only. If you run a device that draws power from the car it doesn't need grounding. You can wire a three position switch if you want to use both -- iPod and Delphi XM.

Instead I got the Blitzsafe which doesn't have that limitation.
